RYDERI stared at the photos and documents Leo had just handed me, my jaw tight. The evidence was clear — Ethan had been meeting secretly with a woman.She wasn’t just any mistress. There was money moving, big money, and whispers of something darker. I slipped the folder into my drawer and looked at Leo.“Keep watching him. Don’t let him breathe without us knowing. And dig deeper on this woman. I want her name by tomorrow.”Leo nodded. “Consider it done, sir.”I drove to my grandfather’s house with a heavy mind. The old mansion looked the same as always — grand, quiet, and full of memories.He was waiting for me in the study, sitting by the window with a cup of tea in his hand. At eighty-two, he still had that sharp look in his eyes that made people nervous.“You’re late,” he said as I walked in. “Isn’t it too late to be wasting time?”I sat across from him and smiled a little. “I know, Grandpa. But this isn’t the right time. Everyone wants me to replace you, but I don’t want them to

RYDERI stood quietly in the doorway of the medical room, watching Scarlett sit beside her mother’s bed. She held her mother’s hand gently, her thumb stroking the pale skin like she could wake her up through touch alone. The soft beeping of machines filled the quiet space. Seeing her like this always pulled something tight in my chest. She looked so small, so full of love and pain at the same time.“I thought my mother was just sick all along,” Scarlett said softly, not looking up. “Being in a coma for five years felt strange, but no one ever told me it was suspicious. I feel so stupid for not knowing this from the start.”I walked over and placed my hand gently on her shoulder. She leaned into my touch a little, but her eyes stayed on her mother.“You don’t need to blame yourself,” I said quietly. “You were too worried about her condition. You couldn’t think straight. It’s the same thing you did with Ethan for five years. Your love blinded everything.”Scarlett let out a shaky breat

RYDERNight had fallen by the time Leo’s call came through. The city lights stretched out below as I drove back to the mansion. The grand estate felt quieter these days, especially with Scarlett staying here under my protection. I answered the phone on speaker, my grip tightening on the wheel.“Boss,” Leo said, voice serious. “The woman was seen again at Ethan’s office this afternoon. They spent almost two hours together behind closed doors. It’s not clear what they’re planning, but they looked… close. Too close for business.”I exhaled slowly, jaw clenched. “Keep watching. Focus on finding out exactly what they’re doing. Every detail. Don’t miss anything.”“Understood.”I ended the call and continued driving, my mind heavy. Scarlett’s sister. Alive. Meeting with Ethan in secret. The pieces were forming a picture I didn’t like, but I still couldn’t tell her everything. Not yet. She had carried enough pain already.When I finally pulled up to the mansion, the lights in the dining room

SCARLETTThe afternoon sun was still warm on my skin when I pulled up to the mansion. The drive back from the hospital had given me time to think, but my mind kept circling back to Ethan’s mother’s harsh words and the way the doctor had looked at me with such quiet understanding. I felt drained but also strangely lighter, like I had finally spoken some truths out loud.As I got out of the car, I saw Ryder standing near the side entrance, a cigarette between his fingers. Smoke curled slowly upward in the bright daylight. He looked deep in thought, shoulders slightly tense, eyes staring into the distance. The sight made something twist in my chest.“Smoking is bad for the baby,” I said softly as I walked toward him.Ryder looked up quickly, surprised. He immediately dropped the cigarette and crushed it under his shoe, grinding it into the stone path until it was completely out.“Sorry,” he said, his voice low and a little rough. He stepped closer, eyes scanning my face. “How’s our baby?

SCARLETTThe auction room buzzed with excitement as the lights dimmed slightly and the next item was brought onto the stage. My breath caught the moment I saw it — a rare, beautiful pink necklace.The central stone was a soft rose quartz surrounded by sparkling diamonds that caught every bit of light, making it shimmer like something out of a dream.I couldn’t look away. It was stunning, delicate yet bold, the kind of piece that felt like it carried its own story.I didn’t say anything. I just stared, my hands resting quietly in my lap. Part of me wished I could own something so pretty, but I pushed the thought away. We were here for the event, not for gifts.Then Ryder raised his paddle.My eyes widened. “What are you doing?”He glanced at me with a small smile, completely calm. “You seem to like it, so I thought this could be a gift for you.”My heart skipped. “Ryder… you don’t have to. You’ve never bid on jewelry before. You always go for the paintings.”He shrugged lightly, but hi
